Alright children. If you don't have anything nice to post don't post anything at all.

We are who we choose to be.

I meant in terms of my personal life. The world has changed, and probably not for the better.

It is going to take a lot of hard work for things to come close to getting back to normal, if it ever actually does.

I'm scared what this post Covid world is going to look like the longer this pandemic continues.

I actually did PD at home dialysis, and my body absorbed the liquid too fast for non hemodialysis to work. I gained at least 50 pounds of liquid before I had to go to the hospital. I lost a toe and almost died.

Home hemodialysis is difficult too because of the location of my access. If mine was in my arm then Iwould just do it myself at home, but mine is in my chest. I'm mor stabbing myself in my chest three to four times a week. Plus, it already hurts like hell, and thus I come to the clinic three times a week.

I'm sorry for your loss. I don't wish dialysis on my worst enemy. It's painful, time consuming, and painful. It has taught me great patience over the last few years, and so this new world we live in doesn't phase me at all.

Scarlett is going crazy staying at home all day. Mainly because she can't go anywhere. She's the type of perso who hates being told what to do. If you tell her to do something her first instinct is to do the opposite. She can't go anywhere, now she wants to leave the house. Leave the house to go nowhere or do nothing because everything is closed.

As for the idea of total isolation and quarantine, for me personally it's not possible. I have to leave the house every other day for dialysis to stay alive. I have to be at dialysis every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6am.

I do wish people who aren't sick to stay their happy asses at home. Trust me, people aren't all that great. You don't need to see them that bad.

Well, the mini apocalypse is still going strong. P.O. your state is now shut down, and down here everything is closed including all the casinos.

My stupid neighbors aren't practicing Social Distancing. They are 0 deep outside high fiving each other, (Like it's 1997) and smoking Black N Milds. (Also like it's 997)

The good news is that Final Fantasy VII Remake is still scheduled for April 10th, and hopefully it won't be the final Triple A video game ever released.

The Resident Evil 3 demo is up in America. (Finally) I haven't had a chance to play it yet because my wife had to take her work key back to well work, and we have been chilling watching Deep Space Nine, and trying to ignore the mini apocalypse happening outside.

I did watch a Twitch stream by Maximilian Dood of the game last night, and it seems a lot more action oriented than than Resident 3vil 2 remake.

I guess the joke, Final Fantasy VII Remake will come out when the world comes to an end is coming true. April 10th better get here before we all get The Kung Flu .

The PS5 specs were revealed today. On paper it seems less powerful than the Sex Box, but it is designed to apparently run different games at variable speeds to save processing power and reduce heat. At least that's what the genius at the press conference told me.

Either way, power won't matter if there aren't any games worth playing for the new console.

I feel like this is the same problem we've had for over a decade. Everyone gets excited about the specs of a new generation of consoles, and all sorts of cute and fancy buzzwords are thrown around, but we ask the same basic question, "Where are the games? Tell me about the games."

If this virus mutates our offspring it could end up like the Marvel universe with mutants and X-Men, or like a "Quirk" based society in My Hero academia.

Either way, it could be really bad in each scenario.

Humanity is not ready for either option. I don't trust people, especially not with powers. Heck, we can't even mot hoard toilet paper when this issue has nothing to do with ass paper.

In the year 2020, humanity is faced with its biggest threat ever. An Outbreak of the Kung Flu created when a bored man decided to visit an exoric fish market, and eat an unholy combination of a pangolin and a bat, raw, served on a cracker with fish sauce.

The resulting omega flu has led to a worldwide shutdown of commerce, sports, film, and television, and eventually a worldwide self imposed isolation to quell the spread of the virus.

Yet, while others panic in their homes forced to isolate from people and society us Geeks are living large.

Video games, catching up on books and films we missed, and finally being able to get to that dreaded never ending backlog of stuff we accumulated from a lifetime of geeking.

Therefore, in the wake of self isolation, social distancing, and finally quarantine, post about your experiences. Succeed where the jocks are failing, it is finally the Revenge of the nerds, and The Dawn of the Geeks.

Wrap up from: Geek + in the upcoming post.
